[OOC] Northwood Academy

[Kirah]

Just so everyone knows this did not come as a surprise and I am not going to do my usual fight. Instead we have more missing students.

[Feisty-Pants]

Um um. Did you kill off Ellie yet? I might be able to dig up some time to post once a weekish or so. Sorry I've been gone, been hellishly busy with work/incoming baby/new hubby. XD

[Saltwater Thief]

I can safely say nobody is dead yet!

Well, that's not true. Mostly what's happened is we all met in the gym because some important NPCs were found dead, something happened to make powers go haywire, once everything calmed down we all tried to leave in cars/buses... and then the school (the building it sounds like, not the staff) trapped us in a time loop that prevented us from leaving the grounds. So currently we're all trooping back to the gym and figuring out what the hell we want to do.

To answer the question, the Ginger Alchemist still lives. No terrible days for rain just yet ^_^

@Feisty-Pants

Omg you live! Also congrats on the baby.

And as @Saltwater Thief said, no one has been killed off yet... I know of two characters off the top of my head that are going into the kill pile but neither of them are Ellie. So feel free to catch up! We'd love to have you amongst our group again. Been missing you.

So just for reference, everyone is headed to the gym... again... if you want to pop Ellie in there.

Sounds fantastic! I'll probably have some time later this week or early next. Fast pace posting isn't a thing for me anymore. DX

@Feisty-Pants

Oh dear.

Well, welcome to the posting pace of mortals. It's not so bad once you get used to it though.

My brain being a constant jumble isn't fun. @.@

I was already forgetful, baby is making things worse. XD

Oh yeah. Hormones for the loss.

[Feisty-Pants]

You must miss my days of 2k word posts in 30 mins. :P

[Saltwater Thief]

It will certainly not be the same. Don't know that I'll miss the showing off half of it though xP

[Kirah]

@Feisty-Pants Elle is not dead. Feel free to rejoin if you think you can handle it. I am sorry to say that I do not have a secret for your character though, unless you want something also alluding to the library being well too stalked for what it is.

Also I'm glad you're not dead!

@Everyone With the holidays I totally understand some radio silence. My next post has to wait for Kittyluna as I want to do a collab for her. Once I declare everyone is in the gym we'll have our wonderful Headmistress give a speech. I hope everyone is ready for that!

@Saltwater Thief

Showing off? Psh. I try to remain humble if anything!

@Kirah

Being not-dead is quite nice! A secret you say? What is the plan? Feel free to PM me! Ellie is very much one to spend exorbent amounts of time in the Library. XD

@Feisty-Pants

One can be humble and still boast of new records in posting speed to a friend...

As for the secret/plan, a summary; the significant dead NPC, by the name of Amy Snow (Ellie might know her, I think she was a Junior?), had part of her powers activate after her death, and using those she revealed to each of the PCs a "secret", some factoid about the Academy itself that contributes to the mystery, which Kirah PM'd to everybody. For example, Stella's was "There are books in the library that shouldn't logically be there" and Tobias's was "The building's age is far more ancient than it should be for a school founded in XXXX" (picked those two because I know for certain off the top of my head that we've mentioned both of them in posts, in case anybody is keeping their secret, well, SECRET for suspense).

@Saltwater Thief

Amy was a Senior, like Kata, Ash, Jamie and Luca. Not sure if Ellie will get one... we kinda ran out. *sweatdrop* However, that is up to the GM.

[Kirah]

Hey everyone sorry for the radio silence it's been a crazy week at work. I worked 10 hours Monday getting the new building ready for a game on Tuesday. And I've worked every game since then till just now, before that I was sick. That was not fun. I have Saturday off so between doing chores that have been neglected, and making fudge I'll be getting a post up for this. After that I hope everyone will be in the gym. I'll give a couple of days and then post for the Headmistress. Then things will get interesting and way more character driven as you discover the clues. Hope everyone is ready for that. I know with the big holiday around the corner it'll be hard to get people together to do collab posts, so don't feel bad if you can't, but it'd be great if you can get at least a solo post up soon after my headmistress post.

[Riven Wight]

Yay for December! Has anyone had snow yet?

[Kirah]

Not here, this part of the country doesn't believe in snow.

[Riven Wight]

@Kirah
Maybe snow doesn't believe in that part of the country.

[kittyluna45]

I WISH WE HAD SNOW! *cries in corner*

[Saltwater Thief]

Not to rub anything in, but uhh... Phoenix got some snow. Only a tiny flurry in some other part of town, but yeah. Dunno what to tell ya Californians.
